Emergency Leak Detection & Repair Services

Professional Leak Detection in Chicago Homes & Businesses

Few things are more stressful than knowing you have a leak—but not being able to find it.
Water can spread behind walls, under floors, beneath foundations, or underground, causing
costly damage long before it becomes visible.

At City Efficiency Group, our licensed plumbers specialize in accurate leak detection
throughout Chicago. We locate the source of the problem quickly and perform targeted
repairs with minimal disruption to your property.

Why Professional Leak Detection Matters

• Structural Damage: Leaks weaken framing, drywall, and foundations
• Mold Growth: Hidden moisture leads to mold and mildew
• High Water Bills: Small leaks waste thousands of gallons
• Property Damage: Floors, ceilings, and walls at risk
• Lower Property Value: Unresolved leaks impact resale and insurance

Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak

• Sudden or unexplained increase in water bills
• Sound of running water when fixtures are off
• Water stains or damp spots on walls or ceilings
• Warm spots on floors
• Low water pressure throughout the property
• Musty or moldy odors
• Soggy or unusually green areas in your yard
• Standing water near the foundation
• New or worsening foundation cracks
